INTRODUCTION. 


ITHOGRAPHY,  the  art  of 
printing  from  stone,  has 
reached  its  centenary  age. 
This  occurrence  is  well 
worthy  of  commemoration 
by  holding  a  review  of  its 
achievements.  The  exhibition 
of  prints  to  which  this  cata- 
logue is  to  serve  as  a  guide 
has  been  undertaken  with  that 
end  in  view;  and,  in  spite  of 
our  isolation  from  the  chief 
theater  of  the  early  achievements  in  artistic 
lithography,  enough  will  be  found  in  the  collec- 
tion to  make  possible  the  tracing  of  the  devel- 
opment of  this  important  art  from  its  infancy 
in  Germany  to  our  own  latest  home  products. 

The  story  of  the  invention  of  lithography,  and 
of  its  inventor,  Aloys  Senefelder,  has  been  told 
so  often  that  a  repetition  seems  trite;  but  the 
occasion  appears  to  call  for  a  condensed  recital  of 
the  principal  events  in  the  history  of  the  man 
whose  memory  we  honor  by  our  exhibition.  This 
recital  will  reveal  at  the  same  time  the  steps  taken 
to  reach  at  last  results  so  unexpected  by  him  and 
so  wonderful :  unexpected,  because  when  Sene- 
felder began  to  experiment,  in  the  search  after 
an  inexpensive  mode  of  printing  his  own  liter- 
ary productions,  he  had  no  idea  that  he  would

INTRODUCTION. 


finally  invent  a  third  printing  process,  entirely 
different  from  the  two  which  were  then  the  only 
ones  known  (intaglio  and  relief);  wonderful,  be- 
cause in  his  time  it  would  have  been  considered 
an  impossibility  to  take  an  impression  from  a  sur- 
face on  which  the  design  was  neither  in  relief 
nor  in  intaglio.  Such  an  undertaking  would  have 
been  thought  simply  absurd,  the  scheme  of  an 
idle  dreamer. 

Aloys,  the  eldest  son  of  Peter  Senefelder,  was 
born  in  Prague,  the  capital  of  Bohemia,  Novem- 
ber 6,  1 77 1.  His  leaning- was  toward  the  dra- 
matic arts,  but  his  father  prevailed  upon  him  to 
study  law.  While  a  student  of  law,  eighteen 
years  of  age,  he  wrote  poetry  and  a  play,  "  Der 
Maedchenkenner,"  which  latter  was  most  favor- 
ably received.  A  year  later  he  lost  his  father,  and, 
being  the  eldest  of  nine  children,  he  had  to  relin- 
quish his  law  studies  and  devote  himself  to  the 
support  of  the  family.  His  thoughts  at  first  nat- 
urally turned  to  the  dramatic  arts,  in  which  he 
had  already  achieved  some  success;  and  he  put 
his  whole  energy  into  this  field  of  wofk,  acting 
in  the  double  capacity  of  author  and  performer. 
Two  years  of  this  life  was,  however,  enough  to 
cool  the  ardor  of  his  enthusiasm  for  the  stage, 
and  the  writing  of  plays  alone  continued  to  oc- 
cupy his  attention. 

Aloys's  business  talents  were  of  the  lowest  or- 
der; he  was  poor  and  in  debt  throughout  his  life. 
The  printing  of  his  plays  for  publication  was  too 
expensive  for  his  means,  and  he  tried  to  become 
his  own  printer ;  but  here  again  he  found  that  the 
purchase  of  types  required  capital  not  within  his 
reach,  and  he  was  obliged  to  exert  his  ingenuity 
to  devise  or  discover  some  substitute  for  types. 


INTRODUCTION.

He  began  his  experiments  by  etching  on  cop- 
perplate ;  and  was  led,  for  economy's  sake,  to 
practise  the  necessary  reverse-writing  on  polished 
floor-tiles,  which  in  Munich  (where  he  then  lived) 
consist  of  a  close-grained  limestone  quarried  in 
the  neighboring  town  of  Solenhofen.  He  ob- 
served that  the  acid  used  for  etching  copper 
would  hkewise  bite  stone,  and  that  to  correct  any 
error  a  retouching-ink  was  wanted.  To  this  end 
he  devised  a  compound  of  wax,  soap,  and  lamp- 
black, which  he  formed  into  sticks  to  be  dissolved 
for  use  with  pen  or  brush,  as  is  done  with  india- 
ink.  These  sticks  of  retouching-ink  formed  the 
first  and  most  important  step  toward  the  final 
invention  of  lithography.  The  special  ingredients 
entering  into  their  composition  alone  made  the 
invention  possible.  The  following  incident,  as 
told  by  himself,  which  bridged  the  chasm  sepa- 
rating the  old  from  the  new  art  of  printing,  will 
make  this  plain. 

It  was  in  the  year  1796  that  his  mother  called 
on  Aloys,  busy  with  his  exjjcriments,  to  write  a 
memorandum  for  linen  to  be  delivered  to  the 
waiting  washerwoman.  Not  a  sheet  of  paper 
could  be  found ;  every  scrap  had  been  used  for 
proofs ;  and,  besides,  the  writing-ink  was  dried 
up.  In  this  emergency  he  seized  a  stick  of  his 
retouching-ink,  and  wrote  the  desired  memoran- 
dum on  one  of  the  polished  Solenhofen  stone 
slabs  which  happened  to  be  handy,  intending  to 
copy  it  on  paper  later.  Prei)aring  to  clean  his 
writing  from  the  stone,  the  thought  occurred  to 
him  to  submit  it  to  the  action  of  diluted  aquafortis 
and  observe  results.  He  found,  as  he  had  hoped 
and  expected,  that  the  acid  acted  rapidly  on  the 
stone  all  around  his  writing,  and  soon  left  this

INTRODUCTION. 


latter  in  sufficient  relief  to  enable  him  to  print 
therefrom  as  easily  as  from  type. 

This  was  the  first  printing  from  stone  of  which 
Senefelder  then  had  any  knowledge;  and,  al- 
though true  lithography  as  we  know  it  to-day 
(that  is,  printing  from  a  flat  surface)  was  not 
evolved  by  him  until  two  years  later,  he  dates 
his  invention  from  the  time  of  this  happy  inci- 
dent, as  being  the  starting-point  for  all  his  sub- 
sequent discoveries. 

In  the  course  of  the  application  of  his  inven- 
tion to  practical  purposes,  Senefelder  continually 
sought  for  means  of  lessening  his  labor;  and  he 
found  that  by  writing  with  his  retouching-ink  on 
gummed  paper  and  then  transferring  this  writing 
from  the  paper  to  his  stone,  in  the  manner  at  pres- 
ent so  well  known,  he  could  save  the  (to  him) 
more  difiicult  process  of  reverse- writing  on  the 
stone  itself.  In  the  course  of  this  process  he 
observed  that,  accidentally  immersing  such  a 
gummed  sheet  of  paper  covered  with  writing  in 
water  on  the  surface  of  which  there  happened  to 
be  a  few  drops  of  oil,  the  oil  was  not  absorbed 
by  the  paper,  but  accumulated  on  the  writing, 
which,  as  we  know,  was  done  with  a  greasy  sub- 
stance. This  observation,  that  oil  was  repelled 
by  the  moist  surface  of  the  gummed  paper  but 
absorbed  by  the  ink,  was  sufficient  to  lead  him  to 
grasp  the  principle  and  apply  it  to  his  stone  slabs. 
Instead  of  etching  his  writing  into  relief,  he  sim- 
ply treated  it  with  acidulated  gum  solution,  not 
of  sufficient  strength  to  act  perceptibly  on  the 
stone.  The  result,  in  inking-up,  met  his  highest 
expectation.  As  long  as  the  stone  was  kept 
moist  the  blank  parts  repelled  the  fatty  printing- 
ink,  and  the  greasy  writing  or  drawing  could  alone

be  charged.  This  discovery  proved  the  founda- 
tion for  all  the  various  processes  of  lithography, 
or  chemical  printing,  as  Senefelder  called  it  at 
the  time. 

The  ingenuity  and  tireless  energy  displayed 
by  Senefelder  in  his  efforts  to  broaden  the  field 
of  the  application  of  his  discovery  to  commercial 
and  artistic  purposes,  to  invent  presses,  tools,  ma- 
chinery, and  to  keep  his  head  above  water  in 
the  mean  time,  deserve  our  highest  admiration. 
He  was  an  inventor  of  the  true  type,  never  cowed 
by  difficulties  to  overcome,  always  hopeful,  al- 
ways sanguine  of  success,  and  withal  generous 
and  open-handed  to  a  fault. 

Senefelder  died  February  24,  1834,  after  he 
had  elaborated  all  the  processes  now  in  vogue 
except  photoHthography.  He  lived  long  enough 
to  witness  the  introduction  of  his  art  into  all 
the  civilized  countries  of  the  globe  ;  long  enough 
to  witness  its  highest  artistic  achievements  in 
black  and  white,  which  will  be  standards  of  per- 
fection for  all  time  to  come. 

It  is  to  be  remarked  here  that  the  invention 
could  not  have  been  made  in  any  other  country 
in  the  world,  as  Solenhofen,  in  Bavaria,  alone 
furnishes  that  particular  quality  of  limestone  use- 
ful for  lithography.  It  is  only  quite  lately  that 
quarries  of  a  similar,  though  inferior,  quality  of 
this  mineral  have  been  opened  in  America. 

Lithography  is  the  most  versatile  of  all  known 
methods  of  reproduction.  It  will  admit  of  flat, 
even  tints,  and  of  tints  gradated  from  the  darkest 
shade  to  highest  light,  while  it  can  equally  as 
well  imitate  a  crayon-drawing,  a  line-engraving, 
or  a  stipple-engraving.  Add  to  this  the  latest 
discoveries  in  the  application  of  photography  to 


\

the  preparation  of  printing-plates,  and  the  facil- 
ities which  the  process  offers  to  color-printing,  as 
well  as  to  artistic  expression  in  black,  and  we 
must  admit  that  the  genius  of  Senefelder  has  be- 
queathed to  art  and  commerce  an  heirloom  of 
incomparable  value. 

Germany,  of  course,  profited  first  and  most 
from  Senefelder;  next  to  it,  France,  England, 
and  other  European  countries;  but  not  least, 
our  own  United  States,  though  latest  in  the 
field.  France  (where  the  process  was  first  suc- 
cessfully introduced,  in  Paris,  by  the  Comte  de 
Lasteyrie  in  1815,  followed  by  Engelmann  in  the 
following  year)  has  furnished  the  greatest  num- 
ber of  artist  lithographers,  although  Germany  has 
proved  not  deficient  in  that  direction — we  need 
merely  to  mention  the  names  of  Strixner,  Piloty, 
Adolf  Menzel,  Feckert,  Kriehuber,  and  scores  of 
others;  but  for  brilliant  work  the  French,  con- 
sidering their  achievement  as  a  whole,  excel  the 
Germans.  The  introduction  of  lithography  into 
the  United  States  dates  from  the  year  181 9,  or 
even  earlier — Boston,  Philadelphia,  and  New 
York  each  claiming  the  honor  of  the  first  press. 
The  earhest  lithograph  published  in  the  United 
States  is  presumably  the  plate  drawn  and  printed 
by  Bass  Otis  for  the  "  Analectic  Magazine"  for  July, 
181 9.  In  the  description  accompanying  this  ex- 
ample of  early  art  we  are  told  that  it  was  drawn 
upon  a  stone  brought  from  Munich.  "  But,"  con- 
tinues the  writer,  "  the  art  has  been  successfully 
tried  on  specimens  of  stone  from  Frankfort,  in 
Kentucky."  Few  painters  of  our  country  have 
devoted  their  genius  to  drawing  on  stone,  but 
among  them  may  be  mentioned  Rembrandt 
Peale,  J.  Foxcroft  Cole,  Winslow  Homer,Thomas

Moran,  etc.,  while  Newsam,  Sarony,  Charles 
Parsons,  and  Baker  may  be  named  as  prominent 
professional  lithographers.  Almost  all  the  work 
done  here  is  for  industrial  and  purely  commer- 
cial purposes,  but  the  commercial  product  in  this 
country  has  reached  an  artistic  development 
which  makes  it  certainly  equal  to  the  best  that 
is  produced  in  Europe;  especially  is  this  the 
case  in  dry  etching  with  the  diamond  and  in 
chromolithography. 

The  honor  of  the  invention  of  chromolithog- 
raphy belongs,  no  doubt,  to  Senefelder  himself, 
as  in  his  work  on  lithography,  published  in  1818, 
he  employs  already  prints  in  which  he  uses  color, 
and  speaks  in  this  connection  of  the  possibility 
of  making  facsimiles  of  oil-paintings.  He  thus 
published  the  idea  and  furnished  the  means  by 
which  to  carry  it  out,  requiring  simply  the  cun- 
ning hand  of  the  patient  intelligent  experimenter 
to  gain,  step  by  step,  the  present  perfection. 

So  much  for  lithograi)hy  as  an  item  of  gen- 
eral interest.  For  the  details  of  the  various 
processes  employed  by  the  craft,  as  etching,  pen- 
drawing,  crayon-drawing,  wash-  and  stump-draw- 
ing, etc.,  we  must  refer  those  interested  to  the 
manuals  on  the  practice  of  the  art,  of  which  a 
great  number  have  been  published. 

The  great  revival  in  the  art  for  true  artistic 
expression  now  sweeping  over  Europe  will,  we 
hope,  soon  find  an  echo  on  the  shores  of  the 
New  World.  That  lithography  is  preeminently  the 
handmaid  of  the  artist,  who  desires  to  see  his 
work  reproduced  in  the  spirit  as  conceived  by  him, 
is  proven  by  the  work  of  the  masters  that  has 
come  to  us  from  the  past  generation ;  and  who 
can  doubt,  in  examining  the  prints  on  exhibition, 
2 


lO  INTRODUCTION. 

that  for  tone  and  color  qualities,  true  to  the  ar- 
tist's conceptions,  it  is  unexcelled  by  any  other 
of  the  reproductive  processes  ?  Lithography 
amply  deserves  the  high  place  as  the  most  facile 
medium  for  artistic  expression  and  reproduction 
which  it  has  been  accorded  by  the  foremost 
artists  of  a  past  generation,  and  which  it  is  fast 
coming  to  be  awarded  again,  after  all  other  avail- 
able mediums  have  had  their  turn.  Let  the  ar- 
tists heed  the  appeal.

NOTES* 


The  works  enumerated  under  an  artist's  name  are 
lithographed  by  him  in  each  case,  unless  specially  other- 
wise noted.  The  oft-appearing  **  lith.  by  "  refers  to  the 
printer. 

When  more  than  one  example  by  an  artist  are  exhibited, 
they  are  placed  together,  though  of  different  dates,  the 
earliest  work  in  each  case  fixing  the  artist's  chronological 
position  in  the  catalogue ;  but  this  order  has  not  always 
been  preserved  on  the  walls,  on  account  of  the  greatly 
varied  sizes  of  the  prints,  and  the  restricted  size  of  the 
cases.  For  the  many  undated  prints  the  dates  have, 
whenever  possible,  been  found  in  various  books  of  refer- 
ence ;  or,  that  failing,  approximate  dates  have  been  as- 
signed. 

It  has  naturally  not  always  been  possible  to  secure  the 
best  example  of  an  artist's  work,  but,  as  a  rule,  represen- 
tative pieces  are  shown. 

In  the  sketches  of  the  artists  biographical  detail  has  not 
generally  been  aimed  at.  The  object  has  been  to  deal  sim- 
ply with  each  man  as  a  lithographer ;  and  where  amplifi- 
cation has  been  indulged  in,  the  intention  was  to  give 
information  regarding  the  history  of  the  art. 

Limited  space  made  it  necessary  to  confine  the  present 
exhibition  to  artistic  lithographs  in  black  and  white,  and  to 
one,  two,  or  at  most  three  specimens  of  each  artist's 
work.  At  some  time  in  the  future,  however,  the  Grolier 
Club  will  hold  an  exhibit  of  artistic  color-printing  and 
general  commercial  work,  accompanied  by  the  implements 
of  the  art  and  trade. 

The  usual  difficulties  of  cataloguing  have  been  enhanced 
in  the  present  case  by  the  utter  absence  of  any  previous 
work  of  the  kind.  The  information  given  was  in  many 
cases  discovered  only  by  search  through,  and  comparison 
of,  numerous  authorities. 

In  selecting  the  subjects  for  reproduction,  it  has  been 
necessary  to  consider  the  size  and  character  of  the  origi- 
nals and  not  in  each  case  the  best  specimens  on  exhibition.

From  nature.  Very  rare.  "  In  Germany,  the 
first  lithographs  (figure-subjects)  were  executed  in 
1805,  and  even  then  but  few." 

WAGENBAUER,  Max  Joseph. 

Bavarian  landscape-painter  of  note  in  his  time 
( 1 774-1829).  Paid  much  attention  to  the  infant  art 
of  lithography,  and  worked  on  the  stone  with  some 
freedom  of  touch. 

6  Landscape  (Munich,  probably  1804). 

"  Max  Wagenbauer,  whom  Ferchl,  in  his  'History 
of  the  Organization  of  the  first  Lithographic  Art-estab- 
lishment '  (Munich,  1862),  classes  among  '  the  first 
seven  patriotic  Munich  artists  '  who  practised  lithog- 
raphy. On  p.  46,  among  the  works  executed  by 
Wagenbauer  in  1804,  he  mentions  *  six  small  land- 
scapes, oblong,'  of  which  this  would  appear  to  be  one." 

Twenty  plates  by  M.  J.  Wagenbauer  were  issued 
in  a  folio  volume  with  the  title :  "  Vorlagen  fiir  Land- 
schaft-Zeichner  "  (Munchen,Im  Verlage  der  Lithogr. 
Kunstanstalt  an  der  Feyertags-Schule,  1823).  These 
studies  of  trees  and  landscapes  are  rare.

WINTER  (or  Wintter),  Raphael. 

German  painter  and  etcher  (i  784-1852).  Taught 
by  Mettenleiter.  Made  a  specialty  of  animal  sub- 
jects. According  to  Bryan  ("  Dictionary  of  Painters 
and  Engravers  "),  Winter  "  started  a  lithographic  es- 
tablishment in  Rome,  and  afterward  became  director 
of  the  Royal  Lithographic  Institute  of  Bavaria." 
From  Nagler  ("  Kunstler-Lexicon")  we  learn  that  in 
1809  he  found  employment  as  chief  lithographer  in 
the  lithographic  establishment  of  the  Royal  Council 
of  State,  in  Munich,  organized  by  Mettenleiter,  and 
in  185 1  was  still  inspector  of  that  institute.  His 
lithographs,  with  some  other  early  work,  such  as  the 
Due  de  Montpensier's  efforts  (1805-06),  form  the  point 
of  departure  of  artistic  lithography. 

8  Snarling  dogs  (1806). 

In  181 7,  an  oblong  folio  was  published  with  the 
title:  "  Anleitung  zur  Thier-Zeichnung  von  Raphael 
Winter"  (Munchen,  Lithograph.  Kunstanstalt  bey 
der  Fcyertags-Schule).  It  contains  14  plates,  and  is 
rare. 


PILOTY,  Ferdinand. 

German  lithographer  (1785  or  '86-1844).  During 
1808-37,  in  collaboration  with  artists  like  Strixncr, 
Plachcnekker,  and  J.  Woelflle,  he  issued  several  col- 
lections of  reproductions  of  masterpieces  in  the  Royal 
Galleries  at  Munich  and  Schleisshcim,  etc.  The  work 
of  these  men  was  clean,  careful,  and  creditable,  some- 
times very  artistic  in  feeling, —  although  a  certain  deli- 
cacy of  sympathy  seems  lacking, —  and  honest,  if  some- 
what monotonous.

WINTTER  (or  Winter),  Heinrich  E. 

Bavarian  painter  and  lithographer  ( 1 788 -i 825 ),  bro- 
ther of  Raphael.  Pupil  of  Mettenleiter ;  in  1809  ob- 
tained a  position  in  the  lithographic  establishment 
of  the  Royal  Council  of  State  in  Munich. 

12  Maria  Antonia  Walburga  (1815). 
ODEVAERE,  Joseph  Dionisius. 

Belgian  historical  painter  ( 1 775-1830).  Court 
painter.  In  1828,  Nagler  tells  us,  "he  combined 
with  Paelink,von  Bree,  Ducq,  Goubaud,and  Renard 
for  the  publication  of  the  'Fastes  belgiques  :  galerie 
lithogr.  des  principaux  actes  d'heroisme  civil  et  mili-

Odevaere  himself  lithographed  some  plates.

loosely  over  his  shoulders,  holding  a  small  litho-

"  I.  Odevaere  se  ipsum  littographice  del.  parisiis 
1816."

VERNET,  Horace. 

French  military  painter  of  note  (i  789-1863).  One 
of  the  very  earliest  of  artist-lithofjraphers.  In  his 
work  on  the  stone  he  depicted  familiar  and  humorous 
scenes  in  military  life  with  a  light  and  lively  touch. 
After  some  years  he  abandoned  the  pale  manner  for 
a  heavier  crayonage,  of  which  "  Les  For9ats  "  is  a 
noteworthy  example. 

A  "Catalogue  de  I'oeuvre  lithographique  de  M. 
J.  E.  Horace  Vernet,"  by  Bruzard,  was  issued  at  Paris 
in  1826;  Beraldi  finds  it  incomplete  and  unclassified.

"  Arabe  du  desert  "  and  the  following: 

19  Mameluke  on  horseback,  with  an  atten- 
dant (1817). 

VIGNERON,  Pierre  Roch. 

French  painter  (i  789-1872).  Executed  a  number 
of  lithographs,  portraits,  and  figure  subjects.  "  Vi- 
gneron,"  says  Bouchot, "had  adopted  the lachryniose 
and  sentimental  style  which  marks  the  transition  be- 
tween the  classicism  of  David  and  the  romanticism 
of  Delacroix.  .  .  .  Later  on  Vigneron,  in  his  por-

22  Landscape  (1819). 

Supposed  to  be  the  earliest  lithograph  produced 
in  the  United  States.  Drawn  and  printed  by  Otis 
(the  stone  was  brought  from  Munich),  and  published 
in  the  "Analectic  Magazine  "  for  July,  1819  (though 
the  print  is  dated  1820!).  "The  print  has  little  re- 
semblance to  the  modern  lithograph,  the  lines  being 
incised  or  corroded,  and  therefore  it  has  more  the 
character  of  a  coarse  etching,  but  it  is  interesting  in 
the  history  of  the  art." 

AUBRY-LECOMTE. 

French  lithographer  (i 797-1858).  Called  the 
prince  of  lithographers.  Devoted  himself  mainly 
to  the  reproduction  of  paintings  by  other  artists, 
Prud'hon's  work,  we  are  told,  being  especially  well 
suited  to  his  style  and  the  velvety  softness  of  the 
lithographic  crayon.

GERICAULT,  Theodore. 

French  painter  (i  791- 1824),  one  of  the  masters  of 
the  "golden  age"  of  lithography,  whose  realistic 
tendencies  and  reaction  against  academic  art  are 
felt  in  his  works  on  the  stone  as  well  as  in  his  can- 
vases. Drew  a  noted  series  for  Hullmandel,  in 
London.  Two  thirds  of  his  eighty  lithographs,  we 
are  told,  are  studies  of  horses.  (See  Ch.  Clement's

tionary of  Painters  and  Engravers"  (new  ed.,  1886), 
"  he  commenced  his  experiments  in  lithography, 
.  .  .  and  made  many  great  improvements  in  the 
art.  To  him  are  due  a  graduated  tint,  and  the  use 
of  white  in  the  high  lights;  he  invented  lithotint 
(!  see  under  Harding,  J.  D.,  in  this  catalogue),  and 
he  used  the  stump  on  the  stone."

BONINGTON,  Richard  Parkes. 

English  painter  (1801-28).  Although  cut  off  in 
the  flower  of  his  youth,  he  left  some  sixty  lithographs 
of  the  first  rank  (see  A.  Bouvenne's  "  Catalogue 
de  I'oeuvre  grave  et  lithographic  de  R.  P.  Boning- 
ton  "),  the  most  important  of  which  appeared  in 
Baron  Taylor's  "Voyages  pittoresques  en  France." 
These  exquisitely  delicate  delineations  of  architec- 
tural monuments,  to  quote  Beraldi,  are  marked  by 
"  such  picturesque  qualities  and  so  personal  a  color 
that  they  acquire  the  importance  and  interest  of 
veritable  original  compositions."

1845).  There  is  much  glorification  of  Napoleon  in 
his  numerous  drawings,  and  he  excelled  in  depicting 
the  vie  intime  of  the  soldier,  as  also  in  illustrations  of 
child  life.  Col.  de  la  Combe  prepared  a  catalogue 
(Paris,  1856)  of  his  numerous  lithographs.  (See 
'*  Charlet  et  son  oeuvre,"  by  A.  Dayot,  Paris,  1893.)

DELACROIX,  Eugene. 

The  lithographic  work  of  this  famous  painter  ( 1 799- 
1863)  shows  indeed  "what  vigor  and  color  the  lith- 
ographic crayon  can  acquire  in  the  hand  of  a  master." 
Granting  all  that  may  be  said  regarding  weakness  of 
drawing  and  conception  in  lithographs  like  the  "  Ham- 
let "  series,  for  instance,  yet  in  pieces  such  as  those 
exhibited  here  he  seems  to  have  well  nigh  exhausted 
the  resources  of  the  stone  in  the  vigorous  rendering 
of  shadow  and  color  suggestion.

PEALE,  Rembrandt. 

American  portrait-painter  (1778-1860).  Paid  some 
attention  to  lithography.  Dunlap  quotes  Peale  thus 
(vol.  ii,  p.  57) :  "I  was  among  the  first  of  the  artists 
who  employed  this  admirable  method  of  multiplying 
original  drawmgs.  My  first  attempt  in  New  York 
was  a  head  of  Lord  Byron,  and  a  female  head  from 
a  work  of  Titian.  In  1826  I  went  to  Boston  and 
devoted  myself  for  some  time  to  lithographic  studies, 
and  executed  a  number  of  portraits  and  other  sub- 
jects, and  finally  a  large  drawing  from  my  portrait  of 
Washington,  for  which  I  obtained  the  silver  medal 
from  the  Franklin  Institute  at  Philadelphia  in  1827. 
Unfortunately  the  workmen,  by  some  neglect,  de- 
stroyed this  drawing  on  the  stone  when  but  a  few 
impressions  were  taken."

1860).  Soon  devoted  himself  entirely  to  lithography, 
being  "  accredited  and  official  lithographer  "  during 
1825-45.  His  very  numerous  portraits,  especially 
those  of  women,  are  careful  in  execution,  and  are  in- 
teresting artistically  and  as  records  of  the  costumes 
of  the  time.

BELLANGE,  Hippolyte. 

Noted  P'rench  military  painter  (1800-66).  Most 
of  his  nearly  500  lithographs  (catalogued  by  Jules 
Adeline,  in  his  "  Hippolyte  Bellange  et  son  oeuvre," 
Paris,  1880)  were  executed  during  the  years  1823- 
34.  He  is  often  named  with  Raffet  and  Charlet,  but 
though  his  subjects  were  similar  to  theirs,  the  nature 
of  his  work  was  different ;  furthermore,  these  two 
others,  especially  Raffet,  were  practically  lithograph- 
ers, while  Bellang^  was  primarily  a  painter.

"  Waldo  and  Jewett,  pinxt.  Litho.  of  Endicott,

"  History  of  the  .  .  .  Arts  of  Design"  (1834),  vol. 
ii,  p.  454,  says:  "John  Crawley,  jr.,  ...  is  engaged 
at  Endicott's  and  Swell's  establishment,  and  I  have 
seen  some  beautiful  specimens  of  this  mode  of  draw-

of  Crawley's  productions.

American  lithographer  (1809-64),  deaf-mute.  In 
1827  was  placed  with  Cephas  G.  Childs,  engraver,  and 
partner  of  Henry  Inman  in  the  lithographic  business ; 
subsequently,  for  many  years,  chief  artist  in  the  es- 
tablishment of  P.  S.  Duval,  Philadelphia.  Executed 
numerous  likenesses  of  eminent  personages,  as  well 
as  many  contributions  to  Catlin's  "  Indian  portrait- 
gallery,"  and  was  "a  most  excellent  draftsman  of 
the  head."  His  name  is  indelibly  associated  with  the 
rise  and  progress  of  the  art  in  America.  See  ].  O.

RAFFET,  Auguste. 

One  of  the  greatest,  if  not  the  greatest,  of  lithog- 
raphers (1804-60),  whose  real  worth  has  been  fully 
appreciated  only  in  recent  years.  His  lithographs 
form  a  pictorial  history  and  "  an  imperishable  monu- 
ment in  glorification  of  Napoleon  and  the  French 
army."  The  tattered  and  poorly  fed  soldier  of  the 
republic,  the  fiercely-mustached  grognard  of  the  em- 
pire, the  militaire  of  a  later  date, —  of  Constantine,  of 
Sebastopol, —  all  were  dehneated  by  him  with  a  truth- 
ful touch  as  individuals  and  in  masses,  large  bodies 
of  men  being  handled  with  a  remarkable  combination 
of  detail  and  breadth.  Nay,  he  has  even  permitted 
his  fancy  to  carry  him  into  the  unseen  world  in  his 
depiction  of  the  "  Nocturnal  Review  "  of  the  phantom 
of  the  Grande  Armee  by  its  "  Little  Corporal." 
"  Raffet,"  says  Beraldi,  "  revolutionized  the  painting 
of  battles."  He  continues,  *' Armies  have  a  soul: 
Raffet  saw  this  and  expressed  it."  He  was  an  hon- 
est, earnest  worker,  with  talent  of  a  very  high  order, 
and  posterity  has  honored  him  —  as  it  had  Senefelder 
—  by  the  erection  of  a  monument  (in  Paris).  See 
H.  Giacomelli's  "  Raffet :  son  oeuvre  lithographique 
et  ses  eaux-fortes  "  (Paris,  1862) ;  and  A.  Bry's  "  Raf- 
fet, sa  vie  et  ses  oeuvres"  (Paris,  1861 ;  2d  ed.,  1864).

ISABEY,  Eugene. 

Noted  French  painter  (1804-86).  One  of  the 
masters  of  lithography,  whose  marines  are  especially 
noteworthy.  "  If  Bonington  had  not  made  his  Gros 
Horloge,"  says  Beraldi,  "  Isabey  would  be  a  lithog- 
rapher without  a  rival."  The  exuberant  bravura  col- 
oring of  his  paintings  is  echoed  in  the  rich  tones  of 
his  lithographs.

French  caricaturist  (1808-79).  An  artist  of  un-

praise  of  his  enthusiastic  French  admirers  has  com- 
pared to  the  greatest  painters  of  all  time.  His 
thousands  of  drawings  on  the  stone  will  surely  trans- 
mit his  fame  with  that  of  Gavarni  and  the  others  in  his

79  Neapolitan  fisherman  (1835). 

Signed  Rude.  "  Lith.  by  C.  Motte."  Beraldi  says 
of  this  piece:  "Tiie  little  lithographic  reproduction 
of  the  'Neapolitan  fisherman,'  published  by  '  L'Ar- 
tiste '  iu  1835,  has  been  attributed  to  him.  As  this 
lithograph  is  most  delicately  crayoned,  it  was  con- 
cluded that  Rude,  at  the  first  effort,  attained  a  better 
grain  than  all  the  professional  lithographers.  It 
would  be  amusing  if,  after  such  eulogies,  it  were 
simply  from  the  hand  of  Alophe." 

HUET,  Paul. 

French  landscape-painter  (1804-69).  Like  De-

In  such  vi^ork,  fairly  palpitating  with  strong  feeling 
for  color,  one  hardly  recognizes  the  gray  crayonage 
of  the  earliest  lithographs.  "The  twelve  pieces  of

that  his  memorable  efforts  on  the  stone  (1851)  "not 
only  indicate  the  highest  degree  of  artistic  power  of 
expression  in  a  thoroughly  peculiar  art-language,  but 
have  also  remained  unsurpassed  even  in  these  days 
of  more  extended  technical  ability  in  lithography."

von  A.  Menzel,"  pubhshed  by  L.  Sachse  &  Co.,  Ber- 
lin, of  which  only  12  plates  were  issued.  This  work, 
in  its  faithful  and  uncompromising  realism,  seems 
akin  to  the  productions  of  some  of  the  old  German 
masters.  Executed  with  the  crayon,  and  an  occasional 
touch  of  the  scraper.  Menzel's  first  series  of  litho- 
graphs, executed  with  the  pen  ("  Kunstlers  Erden- 
wallen,"  1834),  the  "  Denkwiirdigkeiten,"  and  the 
publication  from  which  the  following  plate  is  taken, 
form  a  continuous  illustration  of  the  development  of 
an  artist  of  great  power  in  this  special  field.

GAVARNI. 

Pseudonym  of  the  French  illustrator  and  carica- 
turist, Guillaume  Sulpice  Chevallier  (1804-66),  who 
signed  his  earlier  work  Hippolyte  Chevalier.  Dur- 
ing 1830-38  he  drew  fashion-plates,  titles,  "album- 
subjects,"  and  the  like — very  elegant  and  graceful. 
Found  his  true  vocation  in  pictorial  satire,  but  also  il- 
lustrated much.  Handled  the  lithographic  crayon  with 
a  sketchy  verve,  a  brilliancy,  that  give  to  his  work 
on  the  stone  a  place  among  the  products  of  the  great 
masters  of  the  art.  Beraldi  places  the  number 
of  his  original  lithographs  at  2700.  See  "Gavarni:

the  romantic  spirit  pervading  them,  made  them  cal- 
culated to  please  both  artists  and  public. "  See  "  Cata-

COURBET,  Gustave. 

French  painter  (1819-77).  '^is  few  etchings 
and  lithographs,  Beraldi  says  :  "  All  this,  notwith- 
standing the  painter's  name,  is  frankly  had."  And 
Bouchot  tells  us  that  "  Courbet  treated  lithography 
as  he  did  painting,  with  the  roughness  of  a  peasant 
teasing  a  woman  of  the  world."

CATALOGUE  OF 


COLE,  Joseph  Foxcroft. 

American  landscape  and  animal  painter  (1837-92). 
Began  life  as  a  lithographer  in  Bufford's  establish- 
ment, Boston,  where  Winslow  Homer  also  was  en- 
gaged at  the  time,  and  where  Eastman  Johnson  had 
been  before  him.  L.  Prang  &  Co.  published,  in 
1870,  "Album  of  American  Artists  ;  Parti:  Pastoral 
subjects,  from  the  paintings  of  J.  Foxcroft  Cole. 
Drawn  on  stone  by  the  artist."  It  contained  six 
plates,  which,  together  with  his  "Pastoral"  and 
"  Pastoral,  No.  2,"  are  believed  to  be  the  only  original 
lithographs  executed  by  him.

was  published  in  Paris  in  1877. 

164  Portrait  of  Ohampfleury  (1875). 

WHISTLER,  James  Abbot  McNeill. 

American-born  painter  and  etcher  (b.  1834  or 
1836).  This  well-known,  talented,  and  eccentric  ar- 
tist shows  his  characteristic  qualities  in  a  number  of 
lithographs,  most  of  them  quite  sketchy.  In  works 
like  his  "  Chelsea  fish  shop  "  he  shows  the  same  light- 
ness of  touch  and  succinctness  as  in  his  etchings,  yet 
to  the  loving  student  of  the  products  of  the  golden 
age  of  lithography  it  may  still  be  considered  an  open 
question  whether  the  lithographic  process  is  especially 
well  suited  to  Whistler.  However,  it  is  a  highly  in- 
teresting matter  to  observe  artists  of  modern  ten- 
dencies striving  to  express  themselves  in  an  art  that 
seemed  so  well  adapted  to  the  artistic  needs  of  the 
period  of  the  "  men  of  1830."

LUNOIS,  Alexandre. 

French  (b.  1863) ;  has  passed  at  a  bonnd  into  the 
very  first  rank  of  contemporary  lithographers.  He 
juggles  with  his  medium,  at  times  producing  an  as- 
tonishing resemblance  to  process  copies  of  wash 
drawings,  but  in  his  reproductions  of  work  by  Dau-
